Pastorale and Ronde, from Jour d'Ete a la Montagne

Although the catalog of French composer Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) includes five symphonies, an opera and a ballet, he is known primarily for his chamber music for wind instruments. Jour d'été à la Montagne (1953, “Summer’s Day in the Mountains”) is a four-movement tone poem for flute quartet, but the first movement, Pastorale, and the last, Ronde, are often played on their own.
